My software says that will get me out to about 725 yrds dose that sound right for a 204 ruger shooting 40 gr v-maxs book says 3600fps out of a 26 in barrel and i have a 20 in barrel. 25.6 gr of H4895. dose this sound about right?

JBM says 62 Clicks w/100 yd zero and 1.5 line of sight about line of bore will get you on at 725 yds.

Sounds like you're spot on.

Do an accurate determination of line of sight above line of bore.
Then shoot for zero at different distances.
You may have to fudge the velocity or bc a bit to get the calcs to match the drops but it will be good and does away with the need for a chrono.

Just because you hear clicking it does not mean you have that elevation. There are a lot of scopes that run out of elevation before they stop clicking. The best way to see how much elevation you have in a scope is to put it on a bore site. The Bore Site has a grid and you can see how much travel it has.
